Personal Injury
What is the difference between Pain & Suffering law and other types of law?
Pain & Suffering claims are a specialized area within personal injury law. Unlike economic damages like medical bills or lost wages, which have a clear monetary value, Pain & Suffering involves a subjective evaluation of the victim's distress and discomfort. This makes these claims uniquely challenging to quantify and thus requires specialized legal expertise. And unlike criminal law, which aims to penalize the offender, Pain & Suffering claims focus on compensating the victim for their intangible losses.
Our dedicated team of Personal Injury lawyers bring their specialized knowledge to bear on your case, ensuring you receive the most accurate and fair compensation.
What are the different types of Pain & Suffering injuries?
Pain & Suffering is generally divided into two main categories:
Physical Pain & Suffering: This pertains to the physical injuries and discomfort a victim experiences both immediately after the accident and projected into the future.
Mental Pain & Suffering: This category encapsulates emotional distress, such as anxiety, depression, or any loss of enjoyment in life following the incident.
How often do Pain & Suffering injuries happen each year?
It's challenging to pin down precise statistics on Pain & Suffering claims as they often form part of a broader personal injury case. Nevertheless, millions of personal injury cases, including those related to car accidents, medical malpractice, and workplace incidents, are filed each year in the United States.
Within the New Orleans and Louisiana Gulf South region, we have represented numerous clients who have suffered from significant pain and emotional distress due to various incidents.
What are Pain & Suffering Injuries?
In the domain of personal injury law, "Pain & Suffering" refers to the non-economic damages a victim experiences due to physical injury or emotional distress caused by another's negligence. This can include physical discomfort, emotional anguish, depression, or even loss of enjoyment of life.
For instance, if you were involved in a car accident that led to chronic back pain or caused severe anxiety, you could be eligible for Pain & Suffering compensation. Our skilled lawyers at Forrest Cressy James are experts in securing the justice and financial reparation you deserve.

“After trying to handle my personal injury claim on my own, and becoming completely overwhelmed, I reached out to Byron for assistance.
My claim was resolved quickly for well over six figures and most importantly, I had peace-of-mind in knowing that I wasn’t taken advantage of by insurance companies.
If you want a law firm that is professional, efficient, and treats you like a person, not just a “file number,” Forrest Cressy James is your team."

"I have had at least two occasions with accidents where the other drivers were not honest with their insurance company. It’s a situation police don’t always have time for right away, and my city has tourists that will treat it as if it never happened.
I can honestly say I didn’t have any stress in the cases. Not from the insurance companies (mine and theirs) and most importantly no pressure from my attorneys.
There was never a moment I felt alone in this. A+ from start to end. I ended up recovering $150,000 thanks to Byron and Eliza."
